novels after her mother presented her with a copy of Little Women. Over
the past twenty years, what began as a passion for the subject developed
into a documentary biography of Louisa May Alcott, written and produced
by Reisen and directed and produced by Nancy Porter. After winning a Cine
Gold Eagle and several top film festival awards, Louisa May Alcott: The
Woman Behind Little Women premiered on PBS’s American Masters in
December. Reisen’s highly-acclaimed print biography of the same
